YANKEE BOOKS REPRINTED IN JAPAN
ndsrafch 10 The 81 LoLia RkuLLhLlcdn

An ILLUSTRATION OF the cleyerness and initiative powers
of the Japanese, which might also serve to point
an argument In the discussion Of the international
copyreh; question. Is aforaed by certain Japanese
publ cations which have been exhibited TO the promi-
nent officers OF the State Department 1t appears
that hen the study OF English made compulsory
in Japan NUM- Der OF American school books were i'm
ported and by formal order made the text book OF tho
psti,e schools. American book-makcrs had quite
lucrative trade for O time. Bat the Japanese soon
red their attention the subject and after few
experiments began turning out clever reprint. OF the
quantities that the demand Tor the American product
las nov practically ceased. The only inferorty OF
the Japanese books noticeable at casual examination
Is In the illustrations and this accounted Tor by the
fact that the native epgravers have not yet discovered
the art Of cutting their pictures the grain end OF
the block, but uniformly entrave ON the side which
rosults in a slightly blurred picture.
